If you want to code it yourself, choose whatever programming language you like. You can print stuff on the ereader with FBInk, and set up a HTTP server on the kobo. Then on your computer set up a script which sends whatever you are typing to the kobo through a GET or POST request.
If you prefer, you can avoid developping a Kobo app and simply use a custom webpage which can be accessed through the Kobo web browser. Your computer will act as a server and you simply open the webpage pointing to your computer's IP address on the Kobo. See this thread.
It all depends on your need and if you want to code it yourself or not 
That is only my take on it though, if anyone has a better idea, do not hesitate. |
Hi, thanks for your input on that. I looked around in Google and Stack Overflow and found tmux. I installed it on my Arch computer, and it ... worked (kind of). I tried ed, but all it does it show up a long line of vertical characters when I type, and then, when I reached the end of my terminal window, showed up as a complete line. Not ideal for writing. Maybe it's my connection, because sometimes the text shows up in a line. But it's rare. I'll try close to the router.
But, all things considered, it's a beginning! Feel free to continue to give me ideas if you want to.
@Mavireck: I knew that VNC viewer, but the post is from 2013... And my Libra uses soldered storage (and is now on Kernel 4.6!). So... I'll see. Thanks though for the answer. I'll see also for the HTTP GET/POST thing.
